Built upon a slow but sure labor of love, the Hollywood Museum (a not-for-profit corporation) in the Historic Max Factor Building arose from Dadigan’s passion for maintaining the history of Hollywood and her desire to give something back to the community. She spends more than $1,000,000 of to her own money each year sustain the museum.

Under her watchful eye, the Hollywood Museum has become the city’s preferred location for premiere parties and special events. For example, the Gable & Lombard Grand Salon on the fourth floor was the setting for InStyle Magazine’s viewing party for Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whifford’s "Clothes Off Our Back" Golden Globe Charity Auction last year.

Parking

There is a pay lot just to the south. The museum will validate $2 worth. There are also metered spots available on Highland and all cross streets.

The Extras

The basement, devoted to Hannibal Lector’s entire cell block from "Silence of the Lambs," is available for private party rental.

The historic Max Factor Building — Max Factor was the patriarch of the Hollywood makeup industry — has finally been restored to its original 1935 Art Deco splendor and is now the home of The Hollywood Museum, which features four floors of famous and rare props (including Hannibal Lecter’s cell), costumes (Nicole Kidman’s from "Moulin Rouge"), scripts, cameras, awards, and numerous vintage photos and posters from the television, stage, and recording industries. It’s arranged for the visitor to experience Hollywood chronologically — from the Silent Era and Golden Era to current production technology and a glimpse into the future of the industry. The museum, located across from the Hollywood & Highland entertainment complex, also houses a library, a screening room, an education center, and a museum-studio gift shop.
